Watching this on Netflix I was surprised that it got five stars based on my taste. So I gave it a watch and it was amazing, the animation reminded me of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Even the CGI scenes are pretty amazing and fluid as well.

The show takes place on earth in, I think, the near future and about some misfits kids at the Galaxy Garrison. Then someone in a ship crash lands on earth and warns about an invasion coming soon by an alien empire. Then they find the red lion and then get to some palace where they meet some friendly aliens. Then go find the rest of the lions in the universe.

When Voltron finally forms it’s just amazing and I think the problem with the older Voltron was the human element was kind of bland. Here the human element and story is well written and even at the end it made me want to see more of these stories. There’s only 12 episodes so far and I hope more are coming soon. Made me like Dreamworks TV department and would like to see more of what they have to offer.

There’s also some slight changes about the place and one of the characters, Pidge, gender finally is. Since I guess some people were speculating if Pidge is a boy or a girl in the original Voltron. This show is pretty amazing and give it. Watch when you can since Netflix can pull shows every now and then sometimes.

This was one of the first blaxploitation films I saw besides Superfly. I think I saw it on demand though some movie channel called Moveplex and also my parents saw it at a drive though in the 70’s, which I thought was kind of interesting. It was also the first Pam Grier movie I ever saw as well and she was amazing in this as the leading lady.

The movie starts off with this drug dealer and Coffy, played by Pam Grier, going to the dealers place at night. As the dealer looks away Coffy blows the guys head off with is kind of a cool effect. She then explains to the other guy that her little sister got into some contaminated heroine and became an addict. So she is tuning into a vigilante to stop the drug ring around the city, she’s also a nurse too at some hospital.

The whole movie at times makes me feel like if Coffy did take out the dealers it won’t change anything. Probably even do worse than them and other dealers might even fill the void Coffy left behind at times. Although this is a blaxploitation movie from the 70’s and it’s more of underground or grindhouse entertainment.

The cast all did a good job and some of the music is top notch, and it’s nice seeing all these sets they made. I was also surprised that a white guy did this and I found that out when watching the American Grindhouse documentary. Since it seemed like at times these movies were promoting reverse racism at times. It’s also pretty amazing in HD like it was truly digitally remastered. The movie also got a Blu-Ray release if any of you really enjoyed it.

Basically this is a movie to just turn your brain off and enjoy some 70’s exploitation cinema. Also if you want to look up American Grindhouse, I’m sure you can find the documentary anywhere online and on DVD.

I never really heard about this movie but I think I saw some the sequels on Sci-Fi channel a long time ago. I’m reviewing this since someone asked me if I’ve seen it at work so it’s like a request and I can do more requests. Just try and ask for one in the comments and I’ll see what I can do. Anyway I was able to get a copy transferred through the library and was able to check it out today.

The movie starts off with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Luc Devreaux and Dolph Lundgren as Andrew Scott in the Vietnam War as American soldiers. Which is ironic since one is from Belgium and one is from Sweden. When the movie started up at first I thought something was wrong with the aspect ratio. Since it looked kind of compressed like the DVD was fullscreen but it said widescreen.

Andrew goes crazy then he and Luc get killed by one another after Andrew tries to make Luc kill some civilians. They both get frozen for about 25 years and then thawed for the Univeral Solider program or UniSols, a secret program where they become genetically enhanced, mind wiped, killing machines. After one of the UniSols anti-terrorist missions Luc’s memory comes back and he escapes from the program.

Along the way he befriends a lady reporter and tires to find his family after what happened to him. The other UniSols try to find him while Luc “cools down” at a hotel while the lady reporter tries to help him.

After that they go to a different rest stop to try to get a tracer out of his leg. Also the UniSols try and chase him around along the way and some of the UniSols get killed in an explosion. Then Andrew I think starts to remember Luc and there feud rises up again.

Lucy and the lady reporter make another stop at a restaurant to look over some papers they took from the UniSols truck. While Andrew prepares for the next battle and ends up killing a UniSol medic while cooling down.

Then Luc and the lady reporter go to some veterans hospital where Luc remembers his family growing up. As well as one of the guys who helped make the UniSol program. Then Andrew tries to revive some of his UniSols but with no luck.

The cops then find both Luc and the lady reporter then as they’re being taken away Andrew finds them too. Andrew tries to kill them on some prisoner bus but then they jump out before it crashes.

Luc and the lady reporter then make it to his old home and his parents are there as well. Luc also tries to cope with being gone 25 years at his home and just as lady reporter leaves, Andrew arrives. Luc and Andrew then have this big fight and it seems like lady reporter gets killed. Then Luc gets real angry and is able to fight Andrew at the same level with some injection into his heart. Then Luc beats him up, impales him into some wood chipper, and mulches him for safe measures. Luc checks up on lady reporter and she survived the explosion and they make up.

Overall this was a lot of dumb fun for Roland Emmerich’s first American picture and they made some TV sequels and some other movies starting the two main actors. I think the movies are also on Crackle if you ever want to take a look at them. The picture quality is kinda squished even with widescreen but this is basically a popcorn movie if you enjoy those movies.

First heard about this when on Crackle one day a couple of months ago. Wasn’t too sure about this show until I found out the creators of Robot Chicken made this and Bryan Cranston voiced Titanium Rex. I was kind of surprised a bit but Bryan Cranston has done voice acting for anime in the 1990’s, so he has some experience.

The episodes came out I think every week on Thursdays, the animation and interactions between Titanium Rex, and his teammates, Black Saturn, American Ranger, JewBot, Brad, and the Cooch. They are just amazing and the episodes lead up to this big finale and it was just incredible.

After the 1st season I hoped they’d renew it for another season, AND THEY DID IT! The jokes I thought were okay but the story and animation just make up for the jokes. You can see all of these episodes on Crackle and there isn’t as much commercials as the other stuff since Crackle helped make this original series. Here’s also a link to Crackle if any of you haven’t heard of it or the app.
